    Women can gain about 1 pound of muscle per month, so if you are wanting to gain muscle you might want to reconsider your goal and gain around half a pound per week.

    Well then.. congratulations.

    Also try and eat according to your macros (it's hard, I often fail that) not just calories.

    Serious question here. Why try to gain non muscle weight? I'm absolutely not saying you shouldn't or anything, I'masduming you hsve a valid reason. But as someone who has been trying to lose all my fat for most of my life, I'm honestly curious about reasons to gain, that are not for muscle/weightlifting, or having been ill.

    Glad you're happy. People are just saying if you're gaining that fast, most of it will be fat, as opposed to muscle as well. But we don't even know if you are lifting/training. If you are fine with most of the gain being fat, power to ya.

    Pop back in 3-6 months and tell us how your body has changed. I can assure you that it won't look how you imagine it will.
